Scientists all over the world have been concerned about the mortality of bees, which represent a great deal in agricultural economy. More knowledge is necessary regarding the factors involved. Heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Mn) are part of several agricultural products market for aiming yield increase. However, their potential effects on pollinators are seldom considered. The native stingless bees are pollinator species ecologically and economically relevant in the Neotropical region. We aimed to study whether foliar fertilizers containing heavy metals would affect the survival, behavior and physiology of Friesella schrottkyi foraging bees. Thus, we tested two leaf fertilizers: copper sulfate (Cu=24%) and micronutrient mix (Cu=0.6%, Mn=3%, Zn=5%). W...
